To sustain the competitive edges in the online game industry, many publishers invest online game developers at early stages. However, the fair value of online game developers at early stages cannot be calculated with traditional valuation methods due to the high level of uncertainties in technology and market. Based on the literature reviews, we recommended real options analysis for the proper valuation methods of online game developers at early stages, and compared it with other methods using "Bluehole Studio" investment case. The case study result showed that real options analysis is better in explaining the market value as expected.

이 연구는 컴퓨터 포인팅 게임이 중도(重度) 지적장애아동의 시지각 능력에 미치는 효과를 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해, 시지각 능력에 효과적인 컴퓨터 포인팅 게임을 난이도 수준에 따라 3단계로 설계 및 개발하였다. 효과를 최대로 이끌기 위해, 1, 2주와 3주에 적용할 교수 학습 모형을 다르게 설계하였다. 그 효과를 알아보기 위해, 성남의 지적장애 H학교 초등부 재학생 중, 중도 지적장애아동이면서 낮은 시지각 능력을 보이지만, 교정시력과 손가락 사용에 어려움이 없는 4명의 아동을 대상으로 3주간 1회에 15분씩, 15회 실험을 실시하였다. 양적인 평가를 위해, 표준화 검사 도구인 한국판 시지각 발달검사(K-DTVP-2)를 4차에 걸쳐 진행하였고, 질적 평가를 위해, 관찰평가일지를 매주 실험이 끝난 후 작성하였다. 연구결과, 컴퓨터 포인팅 게임은 지적장애아동의 시지각 능력을 양적 질적 측면에서 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper is designed to propose the contents necessary for updating and developing future mobile RPG game developers through a usability evaluation of Users using In-App Payment Services at Lineage M. This paper conducted a usability assessment for quantitative assessment of users who use in-app payment services for mobile game 'Lineage M'. The tool for usability assessment was surveyed in a questionnaire designed based on 'The User Experience Honeycomb' defined by Peter Morville. These statistical results were then divided into lateral analyses. Through this, it is expected that game developers and planners will be able to find data to help develop new mobile RPG games.

최근 온라인 게임계는 복고열풍이 화두다. 지난 2000년 3D 온라인 게임이 처음 등장한 이후 온라인게임 시장의 주류가 3D 게임으 로 바뀌면서 2D 기반의 온라인게임들은 점차 그 자취를 감추기 시작했다. 그러나 지난 해 말부터 이런 변화에 역행하는 게임들이 하나 둘씩 등장하기 시작했다. 세련되고 실감나는 그래픽과 화려한 이펙트, 커다란 스케일 등을 포기하고 게임들이 다시 2D와 횡스크롤 진행 등과 같은 3D 게임 이전의 과거로 회귀하고 있는 것이다. 2D 게임의 향수와 예전 오락실에서 즐기던 추억을 동시에 갖추고 있는 것으로 평가받고 있는 던전앤파이터를 분석했다.

The scale of game development are rapidly increasing as the blockbuster games which cost $7\~20$ billion won, often appear on the markets. The game mechanics which is concentrated on technological elements of the game, necessarily requires the management of quality. In this paper, we propose a computer simulator for the quality evaluation of game mechanics which can analyze the quality accurately and economically in the design phase. The proposed simulator provides Petri net[7,8] and Smalltalk[9] for convenient modeling. The simulator gives the realistic evaluation like play test because it uses the realistic data of gameplay environment such as player action-pattern, game world map, and item DB but the previous evaluation methods can not consider the realistic gameplay environment and can only cover a limited scope of evaluation. To prove good performance of the proposed simulator, we have 80 simulations for the quality evaluation of the game mechanics of Dungeon & Dragon[13,14] in a given world map. The simulation results show that the proposed simulator can evaluate the faultlessness, optimization, and play balance of the game mechanics and gives better good performance than other evaluation methods.

This paper reports the political supporting platform, and the outcome evaluation model, which was developed for the Korean on-line game companies that have started to go abroad to publish their games. When they begin to sell their games, they have many difficulties in promoting in other countries including the USA & EU. They try to find solutions to solve these problems, but on-line games still do not have a successful business model because of their unique attributes and environmental features, even though they spent a lot of money and time to enter the international on line game market. Thus far, the local on-line game supporting policy has tried to improve the world competitiveness of local companies by doing diverse activities, such as Global Service Platform(GSP) service, international game competition, and globalization, marketing. On the other hand, there has been only a small number of fruitful results except for GSP. Therefore, in this paper, the result of GSP was verified using the Global on-line game Supporting Chain Model(GoGSCM), which is the new political supporting and evaluation model through survey targeting GSP participations. As a result, GSP was evaluated based on the compatibility, efficiency, effectiveness, and continuity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the usability of serious-game apps for robots that are being developed for hospitals to add familiarity to hospital life for hospitalized patients. We conducted a usability test of 10 experts and 12 elementary school students with inpatient experience. The usability evaluation of the developed apps was based on the professional (MARS) evaluation tool and the user (uMARS) evaluation tool. The results of the usability test of the serious game robot app were $3.67{\pm}0.342$ for professionals and $3.68{\pm}0.592$ for children. The expert group obtained the highest score in the aesthetics category, and the user group obtained the highest score in the functionality category. In the subjective comments, the experts pointed out the game layout and the consistency of the style. According to the children, the methods were easy to learn, and the screen movement was mainly described. Both groups received low ratings in terms of engagement through participation. This study will provide useful reference material when the functional game app is actually installed in the robot and the usability test is conducted again after the results obtained in this study are considered.

This paper describes an approach to building and evaluating a sentiment dictionary using a Web corpus in the game domain. To build a sentiment dictionary, we collected vocabulary based on game-related web documents from a domestic portal site, using the Twitter Korean Processor. From the collected vocabulary, we selected the words whose POS are tagged as either verbs or adjectives, and assigned sentiment score for each selected word. To evaluate the constructed sentiment dictionary, we calculated F1 score with precision and recall, using Korean-SWN that is based on English Senti-word Net(SWN). The evaluation results show that average F1 scores are 0.85 for adjectives and 0.77 for verbs, respectively.
